A few folks have asked me about my Aztecs....my home-made tortilla chip, so here's some pics on how to make them. Easy as pie!

Aztecs are great since they are sturdy enough to support the thickest dip without snapping, are fat-free and salt-free and taste great. They're also a lot cheaper than the wimpy store bought tortilla chips and healthier for you.

Cut up corn tortillas into quarters like this-



Place them on a cookie sheet and bake them at 415F for 8 to 12 minutes or until they are brown as you like them-



Here's how we like them, just out of the oven-



Pile them in a big bowl to cool. They keep for days in a ziploc bag, too. You can also squirt lime juice and salt over them before baking for a different taste. Great stuff for the football games...
 
Gonna hafta try your method Rivet, the wife makes them like that except she deep frys them. Your way sounds way more healthy...
 
LOL while this does sound good and "more healthy" Isn't that kinda like going to McDonalds and ordering a Double quarter pounder with cheese, large fries and a diet coke?

Most cardiologists see dollar signs just looking at the food we create here on this forum.

Very nice there Rivet. You put together homemade chips and the homemade salsa and you have a great snack.
 
Had some tortilla chips the other night that kept breaking off in the jar, this seems like a much better option, good and fresh.
Now the only thing you need to do is grind up some corn yourself and make them old school the way the Aztecs would have

I never go to McDonalds, they sell coke products and I prefer Pepsi so I go to Wendy's or Burger King and order a Triple with Cheese and a Diet Pepsi...

John, thanks for sharing an easy recipe. I sometimes use the same method for tosdadas, when I'm in the mood. You're right anout a wimp chip that can't hold the dip/salsa without breaking, it drives me nuts.
